One of the most insane games EVER Fents.

Played Tuesday & Wednesday night this week.

5 - 6 a side on a decent sized pitch

I'm happy to admit I took the 'Sports Centre' Catch of the day last night

amazing

mrj · Post by **mrj** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 3:38 pm

looks like a pretty sick sport.

hmmmm team sports hey..............
....

nah, i hate people. have to deal with too many as it is without actually choosing to spend time with em.

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 3:48 pm

i just love frisbee in general, beach is best diving into water. used to play down sorrento forshore heaps as a kid climbing up polls and jumping off tables to catch it. aero ftw.

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:12 pm

Aero is a big winner Fents...

goes forever and ever.

Ultimate has just got me hooked.

Thinking about coming up with some sort of corporate or social tournament for next summer up here on Bondi.

would be insane - get a beer company to sponsor, do it through daylight savings, 5 a side ultimate frisbee comp on Bondi weekly.

Gold.

recommend trying it if you get a chance

personally a big fan of the vortex
makes the most un-coest of custard arms look like joe montana

Vortex = ball with tail that whistles?

also a very good product.

Brainwave - play some ultimate Vortex - I like that

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:37 pm

vortex rocks.

love my wahoo ball too. bout the size of a hacky sack. skims on water for excellent extreme dive catch's. couldnt stop playing with it on my bucks w/end up at rye.

yeah i've often thought while vortexing that it'd make a dope team sport

Feigan · Post by **Feigan** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:45 pm

Grip Ball - hahahahaha

The wahu ball or wooboba ball as it is also known is a silicon compound covered on the outer with a thin layer if stitched lycra - amazing for water skimming as previously described!!

What about the scoop things that used to have a plastic ball thing - remember those?

Ultimate Vortex - would be good, would need modifications though, cause it would sort of end up like gridiron.

hmmm - thoughts?

Hold on - introduce a trampoline!

aroes · Post by **aroes** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:55 pm

Bigups to.........The Prime Minister of Sweden

Its gotta be the first display of common sense from a world leader since, I dunno, basically forever. Saab is in pretty heavy financial trouble, and when asked whether the government would be bailing them out, this is what he said.

"No. Voters did not pick me to buy loss-making car factories"

I could kiss him, I really could.

As a side note, does anybody else find it very worrying that lefty socialist crappy pants Sweden are the only government left still protecting the free market? :shudder:

Off to the Dior Couture show at The Rat tomorrow. Taking JGal's advice and heading in when the locals will all be at church, nice and quiet time.

I need to be taken out of my headspace and this seems the perfect plan. Desperate for good times. Just desperate in general.

Hope you got to see it mixy... We just drove past and there's about 100-200 people lined up around and down the street. Full on. Btown is full of peeps dying to go to the exhibition. I think this is the last w/d or next w/d

mixtress · Post by **mixtress** » Sun Mar 15, 2009 6:21 pm

If I didn't laugh I'd probably cry...

The couture show is in BENDIGO, not BALLARAT

yeah I fucked it solidly.

The lady at the visitor centre in The Rat told me her daughter popped into the Bendigo show today and mentioned the crazy ass lines. Will try again next weekend.

Nice drive at least lol
